Well, for it to be a smokey eye, you need transition colours & more blending.
but it looks cute on you c:

Just blend the black upwards a little bit :) maybe use a lightger color to do that.

It's a good start:)))) I have but a few suggestions...
A smokey eye is meant to start at the lashline and fade/smoke upward getting lighter as it goes. You want the bottom of your lid to be one color really, and transition into lighter colors, as its gets closer to your brow bone. Ms. Jackie, my lively makeup mom, says that eyeliner can be a major factor in getting a successful smokey eye... You should "rim" your eyes in liner in a sense, and smudge it upward a lnd slightly outward. This acts as a good base for your darkest shadow. Jackie uses mainly three shadows. I use four depending on what I am going for. I use black at the bottom, fading into a really deep brown, and then fading that into a red tinged tan shadow. Then I highlight my brow lightly. Miss Jackie says that blending is the key to a smokey eye. She says that each transitiin from one color to the next has to be so smooth, that you can't tell where application if one shadow stopped and the other started. The best way to achieve good blending is to use a clean separate brush. When you blend with a brush that has product on it, it just mucks up the colors and creates ugliness...
Anyway, I would suggest making the bottom of your darker and continuing to fade/pull your shadows up past the crease of your eye. Blend, blend, blend. Jackie has taught me a bit about this stuff, she is an expert so if you have any other questions I would definitely talk to her or Alma, or Diggie. He does beautiful smokey eyes as well.
Hope this helped!:))))

It looks like the darkness is concentrated in your crease, right? To do a smokey eye, you should concentrate the darkest shade on your lid, a midtone color in your crease, and a lighter color above that. You want that dark to light effect, as Alma would say "like the shift from fire to smoke" :)
